Michael Turner started off great yesterday until he hurt his groin. The week before that he was running against the Steel Curtain. If he is healthy next game I would play him.
You can probably throw MJD in this conversation as well, however I think that its too early to bench any of the three RBs, unless you have a very good option behind them. As noted above, Turner was running well prior to tweaking his groin, and he could have returned if the game wasn't a blow out. He should be fine. Williams and MJD are a little more problematic because their lack of performance is symptomatic of overall team offensive woes. I'd stick with both for a couple more weeks but I would be apprehensive.Harvin is also suffering from some offensive problems, but I think some of his issues come from playing at a different position from last year. I haven't watched a lot of the Minny games but I understand he's playing on the outside, whereas he was primarily a slot receiver last year. Until he learns the nuances of the new position change and Minny's offense shows signs of improving I would probably bench him. I believe his hip might be slowing him as well. I'd bench him if other options were available.
Fixed and edited to reflect more of the insanity that currently constitutes the Carolina coaching staff.
At some point, they will figure out how to get him involved and he will have some big games. I'm just not willing to keep running him out there for 3 pts a week in the mean time.
Harvin is playing the Lions week 3 though. I'm kind of in the mindset that if I'm not playing him against the Lions I might as well just trade him for peanuts.
TD Heavy or PPR; Peyton Hillis is a solid start.
We get 6 points for TDs, 1 point for every 20 yards.
It's a cake matchup but if he's limited in practice again this week he sits. I liked how aggressive the Vikings were in getting him the ball early but if he can't be trusted to play the whole game I can't take the risk of starting him no matter how appealing the matchup is.
I would bench Bowe if you have other options. The talent is there, the opportunity isn't.
He's on my bench for the foreseeable future, if not permanently. I'd trade him but he has zero value.I'm trying to move McFadden for a real WR2 (to replace Bowe), but if I can't, I think he's going in over Charles for a little bit too.
Benching Smith for Dez Bryant starting next week.
